Isaiah:62
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For Zion '
s sake will I not hold my peace ,
and for Jerusalem '
s sake I will not rest ,
until her righteousness go forth as brightness ,
and her salvation as a lamp that burns .
*
The nations shall see your righteousness ,
and all kings your glory ,
and you shall be called by a new name ,
which the mouth of Yahweh shall name .
*
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh ,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God .
*
You shall no more be termed Forsaken ;
neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate :
but you shall be called Hephzibah ,
and your land Beulah ;
for Yahweh delights in you ,
and your land shall be married .
*
For as a young man marries a virgin ,
so your sons shall marry you ;
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride ,
so your God will rejoice over you .
*
I have set watchmen on your walls ,
Jerusalem ;
they shall never hold their peace day nor night :
you who call on Yahweh ,
take no rest ,
*
and give him no rest ,
until he establishes ,
and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth .
*
Yahweh has sworn by his right hand ,
and by the arm of his strength , "
Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies ;
and foreigners shall not drink your new wine ,
for which you have labored :
*
but those who have garnered it shall eat it ,
and praise Yahweh ;
and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary ."
*
Go through ,
go through the gates !
Prepare the way of the people !
Cast up ,
cast up the highway !
Gather out the stones !
Lift up a banner for the peoples .
*
Behold ,
Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth , "
Say to the daughter of Zion , '
Behold ,
your salvation comes .
Behold ,
his reward is with him ,
and his recompense before him .'"
*
They shall call them The holy people ,
The redeemed of Yahweh :
and you shall be called Sought out ,
A city not forsaken .
